Bedrooms include one master bedroom with two walk-in closets, middle bedroom that easily fits a queen size bed and walk-in closet, adjoining nursery or study, and finally another bedroom located on main floor with more walk-in closet space.

    "very college oriented town, lots of farmers markets and breweries! safe and quiet mostly year round, students can cause an increase in music heard in the evenings but OU does not get out of control like it used to years ago. plenty of nature and wildlife around as well, you’ll be surprised at just how often you get to see deer in your own backyard!
